Carlstadt Bagels and Deli

Best bagels around! Super fluffy, fresh, and so many different flavors! Always a treat

Decent Bacon, Egg, and Cheese. This is your classic NJ bagel shop.

Girl didn’t listen to my order and then gave me an empty, blank stare when She asked if I wanted her to fix it, and I said yes. Her coworker then said she couldn’t remember what she added to my coffee so she have me extra sugar just in case she didn’t put any in. Won’t be going back — would rather take the extra time to go to bagels supreme in Rutherford

I’d give Carlstadt Bagel a perfect 5 star review if they hadn’t changed their classic cream cheese to a new lighter whipped version. I recommend bringing your bagels home and putting on your own cream cheese if you prefer classic.
Regardless, Carlstadt Bagel is definitely ahead of all its competitors for the best jersey bagel. Perfectly light and fluffy; their bagels always satisfy.
I’ve always focused so much on their bagels that I didn’t even pay attention to their baked goods. I tried their cookies for the first time yesterday, and wouldn’t shut up about them all day long. They are a MUST try!
My experiences with the staff have always been good. They are friendly, which is always what you hope for when rolling out of bed to get bagels in the morning.
I can’t wait to go back!

The best bagels and breakfast and lunch around! Such a clean store and the help is super friendly. Can’t wait to go back.

Super bagel spot local to my job; we always order breakfast/​lunch from here. They always deliver on time, the food is solid and they never make a mistake with our order. When we do go there to eat, we call ahead our order since they are always busy and our lunch time is limited, and they actually «reserve» a table for us so we have a place to sit! The staff is always amazingly nice, both on the phone and in person. We have had their tuna salad, chicken wraps, bagel sandwiches and Italian heroes and have never been disappointed. Great coffee, too! Love this place!

I had the best egg white veggie omelet last week. I really wanted to have a second one because it was so good but decided to wait until next week. Beth is always attentive and makes sure her customers are taken care of. I will be ordering one tomorrow for sure as all the food is top notch and well priced.

In general, they can make some of the best breakfast sandwiches in the area. The bagels are just the right size and great consistency, the eggs cooked perfectly and you’d get a generous serving of meat if you ordered it. They cook the Taylor ham to a great balance of juicy with a slight crisp.
So why such a low rating? The issue began after numerous occasions of receiving our sandwiches covered in ketchup, which was not ordered. I know for many in Jersey, SPK is just a standard for whatever reason. But I hate ketchup. It’s the worst tasting thing that can happen to a sandwich for me. So when asked if I want SPK, I make sure that «no thanks» is the understood response. If not asked, I’ll make sure to note «no SPK please». Not being one to complain, we’d just do our best to wipe it off, or in some instances use the two piece of bagel without ketchup to create a giant half sandwich.
Eventually, I’d had enough and went back to the store to explain that this happens often and to ask for my money back. The owner was extremely apologetic and understanding to my frustration. He’s always been very friendly and appreciative anytime I’ve interacted with him previously. Great guy.
We stopped going for a while, but it’s hard to deny they make such great sandwiches. Yesterday we went back, however I wasn’t the one who went to pick them up. We got our usual order and they were perfect as always (well when not slathered in ketchup) and we enjoyed them.
Today, I went to get the sandwiches. We ordered the usual. What did we get? A THE&C with one sad, extra thin slice of Taylor ham, and an E&C with only one slice of unmelted cheese, despite ordering and paying for extra.
Was this some kind of revenge against me for being unhappy with not getting the food I ordered? Why were our sandwiches perfect yesterday when I didn’t come to the store, but when I do they’re complete crap and I’m getting dirty looks?
It’s a real shame, because when this place is on point, the sandwiches are incredible. Some of the best in the area by a long shot. But I guess if you make them mad by being unhappy with an incorrect order that you don’t wish to eat, you’ll pay the price.

Breakfast sandwiches are ok. Staff could be rude and short with customers. Their faked niceness shows through. Bagels are not made on-​site so sometimes limited selection. There are better places in the area that value your business.

Ehhh okay… i guess. Had their «mouth stretcher» sandwich… was very disappointed. they should reconsider that name. I expected a monster sandwich where i would struggle to eat it, but no. barely any meat or veggies. probably gonna stick to breakfast sandwiches here IF i go back. they seem to favor the «usual» customers over new ones. First impressions are everything…

I’ve lived in the area for about three years now and Carlsdadt Bagles is my main place to go for breakfast/​lunch. Whenever me and my roommates walk in we are greeted with such a warm welcome by everyone. The food is always fresh and delicious. Such a friendly atmosphere and with great prices/​food. LOVE IT!

The services are fast, the staff is friendly, and the food is delicious. I never had a problem coming here for lunch hours off work or to start my work day in the morning. The store is very clean and they are very welcoming to any and all customers. I give it 5 stars!

So i have lived in town for a few months and thought I would give this place a shot. I ordered a Taylor ham, egg, and cheese for myself and a whole wheat bagel with lox cream cheese for my wife. My sandwich had one small piece of Taylor ham but otherwise was ok. My wife had to throw out her bagel because the cream cheese spread was that bad. The good news is in Bergen county there is no shortage of good bagel stores so my advice go to one of them instead.

Came in today for the first time. I ordered a Taylor ham, egg, and cheese on a round roll with salt, pepper, and ketchup to stay. My bestie ordered a sausage, egg, and cheese on a plain bagel. We were both pretty happy with our food being tasty and served hot. We also has some amazing homemade chocolate chip cookies (nom nom nom). Amir helped us and was very kind with a smile! The location has a nice seating area and has a diner-​ish feel. Our food was delivered to our table with a smile. The restaurant is clean and well kept with good pricing. They also have a television for your watching pleasure. And finally they deliver Monday through Friday.

I’ve been here a few times and i really should stop giving them the benefit of the doubt. I’ve ordered the spinach salad with chicken and its extremely small portioned.
I’ve had wraps from here and its been just ok.
The one time i came here i actually found a hair in my food, and they actually asked to see it. I had to open up my napkin with chewed food to show them, and they still didnt seem apologetic.
I also asked if i could use an expired punch card (which i didnt think i could) but i got a very nasty «no».
I have given this place way too many chances.

Love this place!!! Stop in every chance I get. The food is delicious!!! Beth was always nice enough to deliver a sandwich to my sons school during the summer while he was at camp if I wasn’t able to pack him a lunch. Beth, you’re my lifesaver!

Love love love this place! Great service with awesome food! Come here every chance I get!

not a good experience I ordered an item which was a special they had advertised minus a whole lot of other items. The special was $ 4.35, but they charged me $ 6.45, because what I ordered was another menu item plus extra stuff. When I pointed it out to her, she stuck to her guns, not wanting to make a scene, I walked out and logged into Unilocal.Fool me once… I gave it a 2 only because the food was actually good.

Carlstadt Bagels and Deli has great daily specials. I walked in the first time and had such a fresh bagel and great coffee that I decided to have them fax over to my office their daily specials. My office orders at least 2 times a week and they are great. Today I ordered their chicken cutlet panini with bacon and honey mustard. It came with a sample of their pasta salad for $ 5.25. Sandwich was delicious. Definitely have them in my radar for a pinch.

I go to Carlstadt Bagels several times a week. The bagels are always fresh, the store is always clean and Beth, the owner, is always friendly and a doll and so is her dad, Papa Joe. There is the convenience of a parking lot, instead of having to find a parking space, which is a huge PLUS! I have also had lunch there. The grilled chicken wraps are delicious! I hope they stay forever!!! Love them. Never go anywhere else for my bagel or breakfast needs.
